It's a fun month at The House That Stamps Built. Wendy is shaking it
up a bit and making the entire month an Anything Goes! One of my January
goals is to build up my stash of masculine cards as I always struggle with this.
I have two similar cards to share with you this week:
I started with two pieces of water color paper, I sprayed them with
Distress Resist Spray. Once they were dry I did layers of
Distress Oxide Spray -this is so fun and quick for a
background!
On the first card I used stamps (Genealogy and Random Dots) to add interest to my
background and then added my layered Happy Birthday.
On the second card
I used a stencil to add interest after stamping the dragon flies
and then added a Happy Birthday to the gate fold card.

Two very nice masculine cards. I’m working on building my stash of man cards as well. Great job to start the month off.

These colors are so perfect for masculine and/or feminine cards, and I like them both! The notched corners give a real nice look on the first and those dragonfly images look great on the 2nd. I love both backgrounds you created too! NJ!
Love these Donna and really suited for male or female. Those colours are gorgeous. xx
Wonderful cards! I too have been thinking a lot lately about adding more "always ready", so to speak, cards to my current stash. Especially since any reason to not have to venture out to the shops these days (when you need a card, for example) is a blessing unto itself, IMO.

Two gorgeous cards Donna, I love the backgrounds and the beautiful dragonflies!
I dread making masculine cards. Thankfully i only to make a handful each year but I still struggle with a theme and colours. I like your two cards shown here. Hope you are keeping safe and well. Hugs Mrs A.
Two beautiful cards!! Beautiful AND perfectly masculine at the same time! Love the colors and the fabulous backgrounds you created!
Oh I like an entire month of Anything Goes, that's right up my alley! Will join in for sure! Your cards are gorgeous, Donna, love your stencilling and stamping! The second one is my favourite - I like the dragonflies!
Lovely touches of stenciling and such soft colours. Both so very pretty. Thanks for sharing at STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge this month.
